(Scene opens with an outside, establishing shot of an apartment complex in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The camera cuts to the inside of the apartment owned by WWX star, Willie Steen. The camera focuses in on a shot of Steen’s now fully stocked trophy belt display, complete with a shiny new International Championship replica sitting proudly on the second shelf. The camera pans over to the dining room area where Steen’s agent, Jerry, is sitting at the table with his cellphone up to his and a pen and notepad in his hand.)
Jerry: Look, I know it’s a tough ask but my client promised a once in a lifetime celebration. So we need those extra strobe lights installed in the arena. (Pause). Well what about the disco balls can we at least get those up in the rafters?
(Jerry pauses again to listen to the reply. A look of dissatisfaction comes across his face as he leans into table)
Jerry: Look, I don’t think you’re fully grasping what we are dealing with. This is a victory celebration for my client, Willie Steen, the new International Champion and latest Grand Slam Champion in the WWX. This can’t just be an ordinary party.
(Steen walks into the room in a sweat soaked t-shirt and shorts. He’s got a towel around his neck and a water bottle in his hand. Jerry stands up as he walks into the room.)
Jerry: Alright, fine. See ya.
(Steen takes a swig from his water bottle as Jerry hangs up. Jerry shoots Steen an exasperated look.)
Jerry: Have a good workout?
Steen: A nice warmup.
Jerry: Well, just so you know, while you’re in there lifting dumbbells, I’m in here calling every vendor, caterer and official in the state of Colorado. Planning your victory celebration.
Steen: That’s why I pay you the big bucks.
Jerry: You really don’t, if I’m being honest.
(Steen takes another swig and gives him a thumbs up)
Steen: Well, keep up the good work and you’ll get there.
(Steen looks at his watch)
Steen: Better hurry up though. Ravage is in a few days.
Jerry: Well, Willie, maybe you should help with some of this so that it gets done quicker.
Steen: That’s what I pay you for, Jere Bear.
Jerry: Yeah, but, Willie. This list you gave me . . . it’s insane. A live disc jockey, an In N Out truck, a churro stand, three kilos of illegal Mexican fireworks, . . . a PERUVIAN DONKEY!! Even if, by some miraculous twist of fate, I was able to find a donkey in Colorado, what the hell would you even need it for?
Steen: I wanted to do horsey rides for the kids. I figured donkeys might be cheaper. Just trying to keep it within the budget.
Jerry: C’mon Will. How do expect me to get all this done. I mean, after all, this is your party. You should at least be taking care of some of this.
Steen: Look Jere, I would help if I could. But, I gotta train. After the celebration is all over, I still have a tag team match against Dragon and Guru. Just because I won the title, doesn’t mean I get to rest on my laurels and kick back. I still have to take care of my business in the ring. If anything, I gotta step my game up even further. Besides, the work isn’t all done yet. I still have my eye on the main prize. And that’s to win the cup tournament and go on to challenge for the WWX Championship. We both have a part to play in this, bud.
(Jerry sighs and reluctantly nods his head. He looks at his phone)
Jerry: The University of Colorado cheerleaders said they can’t make it. Should I call Colorado State?
Steen: Atta boy. And yes, but double check with the dance team, too.
(Jerry nods and starts dialing his cellphone. Steen wipes the sweat from brow with the towel and turns to look at the International Championship belt sitting in the display case. He smiles and starts walking back into his excessive room. Scene fades to black.)
